Re: My teeth - 'medicine' phobia COMMENTS WELCOME
OK, another week another visit !
Today was a 45 minute appointment. The wisdom stitches were removed and it was pronounced 'healing well'. I had assorted xrays and we discussed a treatment plan after a full check up of teeth and gums. The plan is as follows -
Next week:
1. Have the large cavity in another molar filled.
2. Start hygenist appointments as the gums really need attending to, first one will be 40 mins next week and they will need to be every 3 months at the moment.
3. Have some impressions taken next week too, to start some aesthetic/orthodontic work using those clear brace thingies.
4. Slight reshaping of a temporary crown.
The following week:
1. A couple of minor, currently non-problematic cavities to deal with.
2. Discuss what 'I am aiming for' in terms of orthodontic work and start the ball rolling with that.
3. Another hygenist appointment.
Longer term: Once orthodontic work done, re-do the two front crowns together.
The lady behind reception was so delightful today, she said it 'brought tears to her eyes' to see how my confidence had increased.

So, there were no injections today....save that joy for next week ;o((
